J Issues Installing ACSLS Client Applications

This appendix summarizes known issues when installing client applications that communicate with ACSLS and their successful resolution.

Installing an ACSAPI Client on Solaris 11

Solaris 11 does not include all of the packages needed for client applications to communicate with the ACSLS server using RPC.

Problem:

In this example, the client was unable to detect the ACSLS library.

Resolution:

  1. Modify the /etc/hosts file and reboot the ACSAPI client server.

    Default on Solaris 11: (has just a loopback IP address)

    ::1 <client_hostname> localhost 
    127.0.0.1 <client_hostname> localhost loghost 
    

    Updated /etc/hosts file on Solaris 11: (includes an actual IP address for the ACSAPI client)

    ::1 localhost 
    127.0.0.1 localhost 
    <client_IP_adddr> <client_hostname> loghost 
    
  2. Install compatibility/ucb package required for ACSLS communication using Package Manager.

    1. Start Package Manager.

    2. Search for &rsquor;ucb'.
